More temporary homes coming to support homeless people in Kelowna
People experiencing homelessness in the Central Okanagan will have more supports in the future.
The province announced 60 more temporary homes with attached supports and services would be built in Kelowna.
This will be the third temporary home project in Kelowna created through an agreement between the province and the city to commit to the Homeless Encampment Action Response Team (HEART) and Homeless Encampment Action Response Temporary Housing (HEARTH) programs.
“We’re working with communities across the province to increase available supports and services that bring people indoors where they can get some stability back in their life and prepare them for more permanent housing,” Housing Minister Ravi Kahlon, said.
